²     Brian saw a thick, tropical forest. Everything was green. Crystal dewdrops sparkled on the huge leaves. The drops were like shiny marbles. All the plants were gigantic!
 
³     A round egg sat in the oozing, black mud. It was the kind of mud that would make the most scrumptiously dark, chocolate mud pies!
